This teacher is great! She presents the material very clearly and effectively. The tests are very easy, and so are the quizzes. We had one midterm and a final (Non-cumulative).There were also two projects which were very simple. I will surely take this teacher again if the opportunity presents itself.

She is a very good lecturer and lab instructor. If you take the class: go, pay attention, and maybe even study a little, you shouldn\'t have a problem getting an A (or even over 100%). She loves teaching and does it very well. Highly recommend going to class, all the information is online, but she explains it better in class. Midterm, final, and projects are very fair. If a lot of people get it wrong, she\'ll throw it out and if you got it right, often get extra credit. If you get the chance, do the extra credit in the class.

Great professor. She really cares about her students and is willing to help if you ask. She is extremely knowledgable and she knows what she's talking about. Rong has an awesome accent and its kinda charming when she mispronounces a word or misspells something in her powerpoint. Overall Great Professor.

Hard to understand, and not always clear...very sweet and super intelligent! She knows a lot about GrC and the printing industry in general, but she is hard to learn from.

This is Dr. Rong's first class to teach, so I gave her the benefit of a doubt that her "ability" to teach would be effected by nervousness and uncertainty as to how to reach her students. I think that she's done a pretty good job. Sure, I didn't go to lecture as much as I should have, but when I was in lecture and in lab with her, it was fine. She is still learning how to use the presses in our department, so I gave her that. Her English is a little hard to understand sometimes, but I know that if English wasn't my first language I would have a hard time too. I think it's really rude when some of the students make judgements on her teaching because of her English, or if she has trouble wording something, sometimes it comes out sounding a little bit rude. COME ON PEOPLE, she's still learning English, she isn't a bitch! Anyways. So, as a person and teacher, she's quite tolerable, and the material she presents is useful and relevant to the course. I think that it's a little bit premature to be grading her teaching, because we were her first class and she's still learning, but I think she can improve, and I know that she probably will.

Once again I had this teacher. Previously in GRC 211. She shows outstanding knowledge of the subject. We had 5 quiz's (which are harder than the midterms), lab final, and 2 midterms. No cumulative final was given.The lab was very interesting. This is surely an esay A if you put a little time into it. Simply reading over the lecture notes the day before an exam or quiz will get you and A. Take her!

I love professor Rong. She is adorable. All of her classes I have taken are the same. Lecture with scantron quizes and tests. If a lot of people miss the same question, then everyone was "a little bit confused" so she makes that question extra credit. It is important to go to lecture and actually pay attention, otherwise you won't do very well. Because English is her second language, she explains things in a very simple way.

Dr. Rong is one of my favorite professors in the GRC department. All of her classes are the same. She goes over powepoint slides, that area also online for printing, and then we have quizzes (every week or every other week), one midterm, and one final. They are all scantron. If there is a question that a majority of the class got wrong, she will take it off the score. She\'s a very fair grader and will explain things if you don\'t understand. She is really sweet and always there to help. You will love her! (oh, by the way, another bonus to this class is that there was no textbook!)

Dr. Rong is a wonderful human being as well as professor. She's smart, insanely smart; she knows her stuff. Her midterm and final is very straight forward and simple. If you study (you dont need to kill yourself studying) and pay attention in class, you will do fine. This class was so cool too! Every week when we would print in lab, we walked away with the coolest of things. All my friends were jealous that I got to make so many personalized items for class. She's also so sweet and its great to have such a passionate professor :)
